Arcadia
Dobrovoljno pevačko društvo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One gledale su svet crnim očima,
u podne kupale u potocima,
crvene ruže, rumene ruže prošlosti.
I ljubav mora da prestane
i sve da bude i nestane,
suviše jako, suviše hrabro, suviše.

refren:
Kad je to bilo, kad se srušilo,
kad je nestalo i umrlo.(x2)

Ti si bila negde tu,
više to znam po osećaju
u pesmama, nešto je ostalo,
nešto u snovima.
Gradovi, putevi, pogledi
i kiša i ulice i koraci
sve dalji, sve dalji koraci
sve tiši.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Arcadia" by Dobrovoljno pevačko društvo speak of the sadness and loss that comes with the passage of time. The song sets the scene of a world that has been observed by black eyes, where people bathed in streams in the middle of the day, and where the red and rosy roses of the past still linger. However, even though love may come to an end and everything may disappear, it does so with too much intensity and bravery, leaving a strong mark on those who have experienced it.


In the chorus, the singer reflects on the moment when everything was lost and died, questioning when it happened and when it all crumbled away. Yet, despite the emptiness that remains, the memories and feelings linger on. The singer remembers someone who was there with them, even if they can only feel it in songs and dreams. The cities, roads, looks, rain, streets, and steps all grow further and more silent, giving way to a feeling of isolation and hopelessness.


Overall, "Arcadia" is a song that captures the sentiment of remembering a time and a person who has left an indelible mark. Despite the sense of loss, there is still a sense of longing and connection that remains, even if only as a memory or a dream.

Nikada ne treba dovoditi u pitanje Šaperov, odnosno Krstićev muzički (ne)talenat !
